I think the problem may be the [StdQC] section in the weewx.conf. http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdQC
In the example given the minimum barometer reading is 28 which I'm guessing may be causing your problem. I simply changed mine to 15 which may be absurdly low but I've never noted a problem with anomalous. readings. I'm around 7030 feet myself.
